Hi. Before I start, I want to say that I do not intend to offend anyone. I know that children with the issues I mention below are often gifts to their families. What I doubt most is my ability to manage such challenges.

For those who have used an anonymous donor, are you worried about the donor's history (ie, what the truth really is)? I know agencies and clinics say they screen, but really, if they don't, there's no consequence for not doing due dilligence. And they don't (arguably can't) investigate the donors any more than blood tests and interviews.
